Cute Music Comics!

Hahaha! cute music comic found on the net and share it out here! ^^ 
Well, there are not enough music comics around~~ 

My energy level was a bit flat, but after seeing this my mind is totally sharp!

Comments on the net:
- I think I may need a "full bar rest" here!
- Who is taking "notes" in the meeting?
- Strange, they should all be working in "harmony"!
- When your energy level is a bit "flat", take a "rest", think about this picture! Your mind will be totally "sharp" and you won't miss a "beat"!

p/s: Musicians are able to understand the meaning of this comic~ So if you don't get it, nevermind, let's enjoy the art, the drawings of Treble Clef, Bass Clef, notes and else! 

ppp (Pianisissimo) to fff (Fortisissimo)~~~

Nowadays cute card printing material really attract some students to learn music theory with fun n fresh idea! Even myself as the teacher addicted on it!

The "10" vs "A" become a BlackJack right?? Cool~
